I have a sinus headache and my ear is achy. i really don't want it to turn into a sinus infection; i've already had a couple in the past. any advice?

If you: Don't have high blood pressure, use paeudoephedrine, and use saline nasal washes. Most sinus issues are either viral or allergic, and don't need antibiotics. An antihistamine such as Claritin can help too. Hope this helps!

Sleep, saline nasal: 7-8 hours of sleep, eat healthy, minimal exercise and rest, limit stress, vitamin C, but not to excess, not over 1000mg a day, chicken soup, plenty of fluids, Tylenol (acetaminophen) or NSAID if not allergic for pain, nasal sterile saline washes twice daily, warm saltwater gargles. Antihist/decongest if needed to sleep because sleep is key to immune function. may use Afrin for 3 days in a row and quit only.

Sinus: Could be the onset of a cold. Drink lots of water, warm steam of the nose several times a day and start OTC sinus/cold meds. Don't take ones with sudafed after 4pm- will keep you up

Sinus pain: Hi, treat any allergy you might have, steaming could help, irrigating the nose with salt water or Saline is helpful, also you can buy Nasocort OTC and use that.

Prevent sinusitis: Drink plenty of fluids, avoid antihistamines , use saline lavage, and take decongestants.

Get checked: You feel you are coming down with a sinus infection the best advise is to get checked.
